I would have probably bought 3 android phones for the same amount and would have been happy for next 12 years. But anyway lets experience the iphone magic and see if it's worth it!

Other points I have noticed so far - the satin paint finish is very slippery on dry hands. So I'm waiting for my 245 Rs amazon transparent case. Turns out there are many cases but most come with quite ugly bumps on corners. Maybe they are there to protect the corners but it looks quite ugly so I went with a low profile case. I felt best way to protect an IPhone is with a flip case. But that's so like a granny according to wife. So anyway no other accessories for now. Going to connect the Sony Bluetooth buds and see if they work good or not. That's all for now.
Cheers!!
